Where did October go?

It feels like just the other day that I was writing my entry for the end of September and here we are at the beginning of November already.

October was a brilliant month for me. I had 5 weigh Ins and I managed to lose a whole 14lbs. I was very focused because I celebrated 1 year of following the plan on the 19th and I wanted to get to 14 stone 3lbs by then so that I could say I weighed than 200lbs. I managed this. Also, Tash and I have been going to circuits on a Sunday (more about that in a minute) and that really helps. In total I have now lost 168.5lbs and weigh 13 stone 6.5lbs.

I have changed my exercise routine slightly over the past month. I did try lots of different classes but I found the only one I really enjoy is circuits, which is the hardest one. As a result of this I have been going to the gym again and doing a fair amount of work there. I've already mentioned that Tash and I are regularly going to circuits now and I've decided that anything that causes you to sweat that much on the day before WI has to be good for you.

I've really noticed a change in my shape in the past few weeks. I now have lumps and bumps in the right places and I can feel bones that I never knew I ha d. It's all great for the confidence and motivation isn't it?

My aims for November are to get into the 12s, which would also bring in my 175lb mark and complete my autumn seasons challenge target, which was to also get into the 12s. This was something I I'd originally planned to do by Christmas so I will be very happy to get there. I'm also going to really try and start running again. My circuits class involves running and this has to help but I want to be able to run for a while relatively comfortably at a reasonable pace.

Wish me luck.
